Kedarkantha Trek

Kedarkantha is a six-day climb throughout Uttarakhand’s Govind Pashu Vihar National Park. It is not the same as the well-known Kedarnath Temple. Expert trekkers and beginners both love this, one of the most well-liked treks in India.
Its popularity comes primarily from the thrilling mountain climb. The top is always viewable from the base camp. The view opens up as you gradually climb a snow-covered, rocky hill early in the morning. The amazing view of the upper Himalayas that accompanies you to the top of the mountain, as well as the difficulty and slope of the climb, makes it easier.

Experience a memorable journey to the top of Kedarkantha for amazing views of the Himalayan mountains.
Experience picturesque camp stays and connect deeply with nature.
Visit the serene Juda ka Talab, adding tranquility to your adventure.
A beautiful color will cover the highest points as you see a beautiful dawn from the top.
